Odd. it might've just been because i was testing it on a local server. Trying it again now.
EDIT: Okay, weird, it's working now. D:

We played last night on cC server, or tried to.
First time someone touched the intel it crashed the game/server to desktop with an error something like:
missing (i don't know) pick-up/drop flag .wav
didn't write it down but something about a .wav file that should play when intel is grabbed.

BTW, there are a few white pipes scattered around which need to be checked for lighting--they were bluish and clearly distinct from their neighboring pipes.
Probably an issue with being more-than-half embedded in the wall and needing their origin set to an info_target.

Tested a11 last night. I don't like this version as much as I have liked previous versions. The second point in the first area is pretty difficult to cap, although not impossible. The way that you have the points setup with the whole room counting as the cap point makes it so that you have to clear out all of the red team before you are able to cap, which can be difficult with the addition of a few SGs in that area.
The map didn't get rated very well because of the last point. Much like the other points, it is very easy to protect since the point itself gives unlimited ammo to heavys. Once that was realized, 3 or 4 people went heavy and just spammed their guns until the round was over. With the addition of a medic to boost health, it was extremely difficult to kill the half of the red team that was standing on the point and get the flag in there before they were able to respawn.

So now that Valve's snow theme is on the horizon, I'm thinking of using parts of it in HAARP.
This isn't a random decision. Those who know what the real HAARP is (link) would notice that it's in Alaska. Of course, I wouldn't be changing everything around so it's suddenly in a snowy village, but the outdoor areas could be much more interesting with an Alaskan twist.

What did you expect me to think? A few people here have been working for months on snow themed maps because they wanted to do something original, then a snowy valve map is released and BAM, snow maps everywhere
Snow maps aren't original. It's one of the most obvious tropes of video games. Right next to jungle levels, lava levels, and water levels.

Oh please. I've been working on a snowy-themed map since about June last year, but I was too lazy to finish it in time. Did I get angry or jealous when I saw Acegikmo working on his own snowy theme? No, I kept quiet and followed his progress.
And you know what? I was impressed, because he did a better job than me and I felt that his popularity was deserved - and there's nothing wrong with that.
And now that Valve are releasing their own theme I can only be happy again for two big reasons - 1) I can use professionally-designed assets now; 2) my map's file will be much smaller
Arguing with people who decide to use the new theme just because you've been doing the same recently seems rather childish to me, sorry. :/
Sorry for the off-topic Spud, I won't spam your thread anymore.

It sounds like the line you're looking for is: "I was doing snow before it was cold--er, cool.... Poseurs!"
